The school was over and Lucian was going home together with Yami. She decided to at least hear Lucian out and so she agreed to his plan.
Now they were going back home in silence and when they started to near in on the apartment building, she asked"So were going to your apartment?"
"My sister is there, so rather not go in there for your and mine sake."he answered.
"I guess w-we can go to my a-apartment."she said and Lucian noticed her stuttering. To that he made a slight smile, which Yami didn't notice.
Once they were on the ninth floor, in front of Yamis apartment, she unlocked the door and they went in. They both took of their shoes and she said"I guess we have to go to my room. Don't get any ideas."
"Mhm."replies Lucian.
They go to her room and she tells him to sit on the chair and so he does. She sits on her bed and says."So how could you help me?"
"I need to see the scar first."he says and she replies"You already saw it."
"I need to see it clearly."he says and she response"You said you had a complex. Tell me about it first and then."
"Fine. I'll tell. I have had these red markings on my body since birth. Other children used to avoid me because of these and I couldn't make any friends until 9th grade."
"Could you show me."
He nods and takes off his gloves and then his hoodie.
"Wait. Those are your tattoos."
"Their not tattoos. I have had it since birth...Here."he takes out his phone and shows her some pictures.
"How?"
"I don't know."he says. All those markings on his body are there because he is a demon. If he had been raised in a demon realm, there wouldn't be any problem, but he was born and raised in human realm and so he had trouble fitting in.
"Now then. Show me your scar."he says and takes a hair clip from the table.
She hesitates, but decides to show. She slowly moves her hair away from her face, revealing the long red scar.
Lucian gets up from the chair and stands in front of her. She puts the clip into her hair and touches the scar, with his finger.
"What are you doing?"
"Ssh."he says and runs his finger down her scar.
"How old were you when you got it?"
"Five."she says.
"How did you get it?"
"I don't know. Mom doesn't tell me either."
"Hmm. I see....This can be dealt with."he says.
"What to you mean?"
"Stay here. I'll be back in the minute."he says and leaves the room, leaving her sitting on the bed, not knowing what to do.
Lucian goes to the kitchen and takes out a small blue core from his pocket and drops it into a glass. He then takes out a decorated knife and cuts his wrist, letting the blood flow into the glass. He has to forcefully hold the wound open, so the blood could flow out. Once the class is almost full, he lets his wrist heal.

He chants something and the liquid in the glass turns black.
"Should be done."he says and goes back to the room with the glass. He gets into the room and she immediately says"what the hell is that."
"That is a drink that you will drink now."
"No no. I won't drink that suspicious stuff."she replies and shaking her head.
"It can heal the scar."when she hears that, she stops shaking her head. "So choose: drink that horrible tasting drink and get your scar healed. Or don't drink and have the scar."
"How can I be sure of you?"
"If this doesn't work, I will do anything you want. Anything."
She thinks for a minute and then extents her arm.
"Might as well."she says and receives the glass from him. She looks at the drink and Lucian says"You have to drink it without pauses."
She lifts the glass to her pink lips and then quickly drinks it all. Once she is done, he takes the class from her, while she is having a ugly face from the taste.
"It was disgusting."she says and stares at Lucian who is smiling."Why are you smiling?"
"Look at yourself."he says and gives her a mirror. On the mirror, she sees a reflection of her face, but without a scar. She touches her face and doesn't feel it there. The scar. The scar is gone.
She jumps from the joy and yells"It's gone. It's finally gone."she looks at Lucian who watching her on her bed and jumps to hug him. She pushes him down with that and is hugging him tightly.
"Thank you. Thank you."she keep repeating thanking him over and over and over aging. Lucian just puts his arm on her back and rubs it.
She parts her face from his chest and they both stare into each others eyes. Their hearts start beating faster. Yami finally understands why her heart beats faster when she thinks about him. She knows that usually feelings develop over a long time, but for her, it developed quickly. He was the only guy who wasn't disgusted by her scar and was even interested helping her. She didn't care how it worked currently. She only cared about him.
They don't say anything and slowly their faces close into each other and they kiss. They depart their lips for a second and continue.
What they didn't realize was, that Yami's bedroom door was open and her mother saw them, while thinking'Young love.' She quietly closes the door and goes away. The pair doesn't notice that and continue being in their own world.
After a while they stopped and Lucian said"I like you a lot, Yami."and she replied"I figured it out already....I like you a lot too."and she kisses his cheek.
She looks around her room and asks herself"What time is it?"
"Five o'clock."Lucian answers, while still laying under her.
"Then.....mom has been home for an...hour and the....door was....open."she looks behind her, to see the door closed. Her face goes red and she covers it with her hand"She saw. She saw."she keeps repeating that to herself and Lucian is trying to calm her down.
Suddenly there is a knocking on her door and her mother says"Yami, dinner time."
"I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay. Also bring Lucian too."
Yami goes Even redder and Lucian just laughs under her. "Why are you laughing? This isn't funny."she says and starts punching his chest while he keeps laughing.
"You're mean."she says and pouts.
"Yes yes. Now let's go. She would be very happy If she were to see your face."he says and caught her hands.
"Okay. Lets go."she says and he lets her hands go. She gets up first and Lucian gets up after her. She leaves the room with him behind her. He follows her in the kitchen, where her mothers id putting the food.
"Aah. You fina~lly...came...out."she says and stays quiet, when she sees her daughter without her scar.
"How?"she says slowly. She doesn't know what to say currently. The scar on her daughters face is gone. The scar which she has tried to get rid off for years.
"Lucian healed."answers Yami.
She walks up to her daughter and touches her face, to make sure that she isn't seeing things.
"I mean how could you heal it. We've tried so many way, but nothing has worked."
"I used unconventional ways."he answers. She walks up to him and pulls him into a strong hug.
"Thank you."she says
"No need. Really."he says with an uncomfortable tone.
This goes on for some time, until she finally calms down and says"Lets eat before the food get cold."
So the three sit down and eat. After that, Lucian leaves and once he gets to his apartment, Luerci asks"Why did you make a Blooddrink? I could feel it from here."
"My own reasons. Doesn't concern you."he replies.
"It was for the girl wasn't it?"
"None of your C-O-N-C-E-R-N."he says and goes to the bathroom.
As for Yami, she looking at herself in the mirror. She still couldn't truly believe that her scar was finally gone. And when she thought about the kissing, she immediately went red.
"I guess were dating now?"she said to herself. She knew that their relationship developed too fast, but she didn't care currently.
But still. What exactly was that drink he gave to her. She wondered about it for a while.
Later in the night, Lucian was sitting on his window board, staring at the night sky through the window. While staring, he said"Now then, Lamuj. What will you do now."
